An ichthyologist is a scream who studies fish. Most people who do this they love their work because it is very rewarding and varied. They work not only inside a laboratory, out in field. Fieldwork includes traveling to rivers, wtiins and lakes in order to collect informfer in scimens (样本).

Reading, writing and speaking are also very important to the job. Fish scientists need to read the research of other scientiats. They must be able to write up their tom research clearyly so that others can follow it. They also need to be able to give lectures about their findings, so that they care spread knowledge.

Ichthyologists who wish to specialize can choose any one of three areas of study. The first area is aquneulture （水产养殖）. This imrilves the study and practice of fislf farming and manageme . Because it is a rather new study, there are very few job opportunities available. However, as there is so much to dignwer, many are it as an exciting area for a new ichthyologist to enter. The second area is fisheries sciench ,which means working with a team of scientists to find out most about different fish species. The third is about the protection of natural fish populstons. This is important today, given that many fish are in danger of dying out between of the actions of humeas.

To because a cuecrful scientist, you need to have a curious mind and be able to walk on your own. You also needs to be able to handle equipment and erform experiments; but most importanily ,you must love fish. To become an ichthyologist, you will need to rtain at a university to pass a Bacherlor of Scienee degrr. For this, you will need to be good at mathers, physieal acience and hiology. Then, you will need to study for another year to complete an bonours degree in ichthylolgy. This honours degree contains coursework abour all adpects of fish. You also need to complete to complete a research paper.

    An ichthyologist is a scientist who studies fish. Most people who do this job say they love their work because it is very rewarding and varied. They work not only inside a laboratory, but also out in the field. Fieldwork includes traveling to rivers, oceans and lakes in order to collect information and specimens（样本）, Reading, writing and speaking are also very important to the job. Fish scientists need to read the research of other scientists. They must he able to write up their own research clearly so that others can follow it.

The second area is fisheries science, which means working with a team of scientists to find out more about different fish species. The third area is about the protection of natural fish populations. This is very important today, given that many fish species are in danger of dying out because of the actions of humans.
